Inhaltsangabe

A project adviser to the California New Deal Legacy Project, Leighninger (sociology, Arizona State U.) explains that the active building period of most New Deal Public works was about six years, yet in that short time they enhanced the American public with schools, courthouses, prisons, hospitals, rodeo grounds, parks, museums, fire stations, and other buildings that still contribute to the common wealth. Then he looks at the investment the projects required in terms that could be useful for planning today, should some politician ever again be interested in anything that does not pay off before the next campaign cycle.
